Re: The country we left behind

I recently interviewed some people for a summer intern position. One of the questions, not my made up questions but the HR required questions, was "tell me about something you have achieved,...

Re: The country we left behind

Oh, she's not the only politician to make life worse for the public, history will likely make Cameron the worst ever Prime Minister in that regard, but Thatcher sold off the public housing stock and...

Re: The country we left behind

That's Thatcher's legacy. That's what she did for England. Oh, how we danced when we heard she was dead.

Re: The country we left behind

One wonders what exactly one can say by way of a compliment to the testicles. Unusually large? Nicely compact? Remarkably retractable? Very smoothly shaven? A well matched pair, same colour and...

Re: The country we left behind

Re: The country we left behind

Generally, people do not choose to take up contracting late in life. The forty year olds contracting around here were typically employees in a previous life but got the heave-ho. There are two cases...

Re: The country we left behind

It's only remarkable because it's in the UK and then was an era there where different, we might say European, employment standards applied. If someone drops dead in America or Africa because they...

Re: The country we left behind

In Canada, probably in the rest of the world too, but to my certain knowledge in Canada:

Re: The country we left behind
